Remember too: not all saying is true.

I have heard another story: how the Pont de l’Archevêché groans with the weight

of hundreds of padlocks, etched with promises made to eternity. What happens

used instead of “love?”

102615 or justice of time

The rationality of the horizontal unfolding of time is based on a vertical hierarchy that separates two forms of life, two ways of being in time – as we might simply put it, the way of those who have time and the way of those who do not.

Aristotle’s Poetics: the justice that causes active men to pass from good fortune to misfortune and from ignorance to knowledge.

Plato’s Republic. It consists in an orderly distribution of times and spaces, activities and capacities, and is based on a precondition stated by Plato at the very outset of the narrative about the foundation of the city. This precondition is that artisans, who must not have time to go elsewhere, time to do anything other than the work which cannot wait, should be kept exclusively in the space of the workshop.
